Mister Rabbit on Uncovering Oklahoma
I’ve released Uncovering Oklahoma’s documentary video on Mister Rabbit this evening. The video is part of Episode 6: Shades of Fashion. Instead of showcasing several places all in one video, I’m releasing each segment as its own video. It was Sasha’s idea. I was kind of sort of thinking about maybe doing it, but she pushed for it. The title credits are actually the same from episode five. Sasha wanted to keep them consistent while I wanted to make something unique for the video. We both had been edited it since 10 am and wanted it to be done with anyway. I will work on a new title credit sequence tomorrow for Violet Avenue Boutique. :-) I’ve been meaning to make a new sequence anyway because I was never truly happy with one.
Anyway, the Mister Rabbit video is out. I updated the Uncovering Oklahoma Facebook page with a bunch of pictures that I took while we were there yesterday. Tomorrow, Sasha and I are going to finish the Violet Avenue Boutique segment and release that too. I know, I filmed them back in December and we’re just getting around to editing it. The segment will get done tomorrow though! We also may work on the Holiday Family Jam video too. We’ll just have to see what happens.
Later in the week I’m going to film another place with Ali. I’m not sure where yet. I’ve been trying to get an interview with Papa’s Leather Barn, but they have yet to reply. I am going to contact the people at Collective Thread and see if they can do something Friday or Saturday morning. I really would like to get Blue 7, however, the only times they can do interviews, none of us can.
Okay, I’ve been working on the show all day today, so go check it out and tell your friends.

It’s been too long, but Episode 5 of my travel show, Uncovering Oklahoma, has been released. In this episode, we visit Kamp’s for Robotic Wednesdays, Groovy’s for some funky times, and Paradise City where they’re not responsible for one night stands. The episode runs at about 15 minutes. If you want to learn about some great places to dance in the city that are outside of the Bricktown area, this episode is for you. By the way, for this episode the bloopers play at the end during the credits.
Not only is Episode 5 finally online, but the Uncovering Oklahoma site sports a glowing new look. Though, it’s what’s on the inside that really matters, right? So there’s also some new content in the Date Guide. I didn’t post that deals section as need deals to have a deals section.
We are already working on our next episode, which is dedicated to the metro’s fashion shops. Sasha is going through a bit of rough patch right now, so will start filming in awhile. We had planned to have a production meeting yesterday, but her father had to go to the ER.
Now, go watch the latest episode, tell your friends about the series (especially if they are rich and want to sponsor my show), and visit some of the places I’ve uncovered for you.

FIlming for Uncovering Oklahoma kicked off on April 15. I started out the afternoon exploring downtown Oklahoma City, checking out a few places I had been told to visit and trying to set up interviews for later that evening when Ali, the host for the episode, would join up. Ali, who was accompanied with his girlfriend, Whitney, meet up with me at around six in the evening.
We began on a segment on the Underground and that was a bumpy start. Shortly after I pulled out my video camera to record some shots, I heard this voice over the intercom saying that photography was not allowed. Both Ali and Whitney didn’t understand the intercom, but I knew what I heard, so we made our way to the security office to confirm it. When we arrived, I explained that we we filming the Underground for a documentary series. He told us that we would need permission and I was cool with that, so I asked who I would have to talk to in order to get permission. Long story short, the security had to check in with the manager and we were able to get permission right then and there. We went down to a hallway and I had Ali explain what the Underground was and why it was worth checking out. Since it had been awhile since he done anything on camera, we spent about half an hour trying to get the speech right. I got about two or three takes that should work. I also quickly picked up various extra footage of the Underground to roll with the segment.
Then after we got done with the Underground, we rushed to Put A Cork in It. I told the owner, Andrea, that we would be there around sevenish after we filmed the Underground, but it was more like 7:30 when we got there. Both the Underground and Put A Cork in it close at eight. Since it was an interview and we had filmed something earlier, the whole process went smoother. We did several takes to make everyone look good. Andrea snapped a few pictures of us for her Facebook and here they are below.
Then after that, we called it a night.
Overall, I am really excited. It looks like the Downtown segment will be the first episode that will air next month. We need to film a few more locations and have Charmaine interview one of the owners of a clothing store. I’ll keep you guys posted and I’ll hold back any spoilers.

It’s time for me to reveal Uncovering Oklahoma. The goal of the documentary series is to showcase interesting places to visit, things to do, food to sample, and stores to shop at for teens and young adults. Eventually if the show goes well it will cover all of Oklahoma, but for the first season or so it will focus on the greater Oklahoma City metro area. Basically, every place from Stillwater to Norman will be featured.
As I’ve been compiling the list of locations to feature and showing that list around, everyone saw a few places on that list that they have never heard of before. Most of my friends think that there is noting to do or check out and I want to show everyone what Oklahoma City has to offer. I know it can be pretty boring, but hopefully with this show I’ll make it less boring. I’m also uncovering many new places myself. I’m exited. Charmaine and Tristan, the hosts, are excited. Plus everyone that I told about it so far is looking forward to watching it.
I’ve been waiting to reveal the production on here once I got the domain name registered and now that it’s mine, you can visit the Uncovering Oklahoma site at www.uncoveringoklahoma.com today. Right now, it’s just a simple page explaining that the show is in production and will air either late May or early June. We will have a few episodes finished and then I’ll released a new episode each week until I run out. If the show is popular, we’ll begin work on filming even more episodes. We’re making plans to start filming some locations or at the very least, investigating a few un-visited, some time next week.
